Re: WARNING: thefts due to password reuse
7 litecoins got sent to another address today. I did NOT CHANGE IT.
I changed it back to mine address - CHANGED PASSWORD AND EVEN ENABLED 2 step authentication.
I check back later 2 hours - the ADDRESS IS CHANGED AGAIN! I AM MOST DEFINATELY GETTING TRACKED ON by a bloody bot hacker or low life.
I will not be mining here anymore until I get a satisfactory answer.
SO EASY TO HAVE LOST A GOOD FEW DAYS WORTH OF MINING! :@ PASSWORD is not used ANYWHERE on the web. How the hell? :S

It's funny - because my NEW password does not work anymore. I am literally banned out of my own account.
Just brilliant!

Re: WARNING: thefts due to password reuse
you probably have the copy/paste malware
its the only thing that can explain your payout address changing after using 2FA

Re: WARNING: thefts due to password reuse
Hello. Thanks for replying! I am pretty sure this site may be safe - as it does seem like I have the issue of copy paste / key logging malware etc.
Then the site got DDOSed and I didn't feel safe on here nomore.
What do you guys suggest I do?
Make a new email, username and completely random password?
I am sure this is not likely to happen again If I do all of the above?
Please guys let me know what is the best action for me? I managed to notice 3 days after I was not getting payouts. Lucky I set payouts to the minimum etc.
I can also suggest Locking an address to a payout is another good idea for Prohashing?
